S43.43_SLAP tears are S43. 43_ even if degenerative. I use S43. 49_ for anterior or posterior labral tears.
Superior Labrum, Anterior to Posterior tears (SLAP tears), also known as labrum tears, represent 4% to 8% of all shoulder injuries. The L in SLAP refers to your glenoid labrum. Your labrum plays two important roles in keeping your shoulder functioning and pain free.
A SLAP tear is an injury to the labrum of the shoulder, which is the ring of cartilage that surrounds the socket of the shoulder joint.
Superior Labral tear If not a SLAP just superior then S43. 49-.
SLAP Type 2 Type 2 is the comonest type of SLAP tear. The superior labrum is completely torn off the glenoid, due to an injury (often a shoulder dislocation). This type leaves a gap between the articular cartilage and the labral attachment to the bone.
A SLAP (Superior Labrum Anterior to Posterior) tear, a specific type of labral tear, involves the attachment site of the biceps tendon located at the top of the shoulder joint. A Bankart tear describes a torn labrum where the humeral head shifts toward the front of the body, as an anterior labral tear.
In a type 1 tear, the labrum is frayed but the biceps tendon is attached. This type of tear is degenerative and usually seen in older people. A type 2 tear also involves a frayed labrum, but the biceps is detached. Type 2 tears are the most common SLAP injuries.
The labrum is a piece of fibrocartilage (rubbery tissue) attached to the rim of the shoulder socket that helps keep the ball of the joint in place. When this cartilage is torn, it is called a labral tear. Labral tears may result from injury, or sometimes as part of the aging process.
A positive O'Brien test means that you have pain in the first position but less pain in the second position. You must have reduced pain in the second position for the O'Brien test to be positive. If the pain is deep in your shoulder, that may indicate a labral tear.
